Shedding

I think my snake is shedding, as his eyes are glazed over a blueish tint. However, I am worried because they have been the same looking for 3 days without changing. I would expect them to get more blue over time, but they are staying the same light blue tint. I am also worried because he started looking like this right when he was due to be fed...and he didnt eat cause he ( i think) is shedding. So this means he is going on almost 2 weeks without eating. Is this normal?
 
Not to worry. Some will stay blue a few days, then they'll clear up for a few more prior to shedding. This is normal. If it's in shed and doesn't want to eat, that's ok, too, just feed it once it sheds. It'll be fine, they can go weeks without eating.
 
Hurley gave you some great advice, I just thought I would add... that some of my snakes look absolutely terrible during their shedding cycle (one of my snakes looks dead) , after a couple of cycles you'll get a chance to see what is "normal" for your snake.
Some eat, some don't, most would like to be left alone & not handled, some are pretty aggressive- and I have also noticed with my group that the time frames (turning "blue"/ clearing/shedding) are bit different from snake to snake
Usually, after the shed is over they will eat normally
good luck & happy holidays! :)
